a nice fat porker about the hight of an ordinary Irish setter The porker been with the Ship so long that het has acquired the walk peculiar to human sea dogs and waddles about the deck much in' the

vastly more musical than the shrill barking of a dog The greatest advantage in keeping a watchvdog of this kind however the sailors declare is found in the fact that whenever his services are no
